    This is my review of the Digitech FreqOut pedal.
    I don't like to deal with the hassles of micing a guitar cab, so I always use direct sounds in my studio. One disadvantage of this method is that you're not able to obtain feedback from the interaction of your guitar pickups and cabinet.
    Enter the Digitech FreqOut pedal. This awesome pedal will allow you to obtain artificial feedback, but in a very natural way.
    The FreqOut has Dry On/Off, latching or momentary operation. You can also set the pitch at which you want the feedback to occur.
    The feedback onset lets you adjust the delay before feedback begins and the gain sets the feedback level to balance with your dry signal.

    The numbers on the "type" knob don't refer to intervals - they refer to overtones. The first overtone is the fundamental frequency, the 2nd one is an octave up, the 3rd one is an octave + 5th, the fourth one would be two octaves, and the 5th one is 2 octaves + major 3rd. The "sub" would probably create a sub-harmonic an octave lower than the fundamental frequency.

    This is the first time I have come across this guy giving a review. This a great review. He walks you through the controls and how they respond. Just doesn't play and talk about the pedal, but actually shows how the pedal works like a guitar teacher would. Just FYI for anyone out there getting into pedals, you are going to come across a ton of pedal videos where they just wank off and talk about how great shit. This guy gets right down to the mechanics of the pedal which wastes no time. Will definitely check out more of his videos.

  • @FRETW1ZARD
    @FRETW1ZARD 5 років тому +1

    @David Walliman how does the freqout handle chords? I've watched loads of demo videos now but they all just demo the single note sustains. I'd love to hear how this pedal behaves when faced with big open stadium rock chords, particularly on the natural high and natural low modes. Would you be up for doing another quick demo?

  • @HubLocationSound
    @HubLocationSound 4 роки тому +2

    Nice video. I would've liked to hear the pedal react to a sustained chord. If you let the feedback establish on a single note and then slide that fretted note to a different fret, will the feedback reset or slide to the new pitch while sustaining?

    • @Dizastermaster.
      @Dizastermaster. Рік тому +1

      I think it has a tolerance. You can do a vibrato and it will translate to feedback, but if you go too far out it will reset

  • @97warlock

    I have a Question, I think its a Legit one,because it may be useful to others ............ Its well known that the sustain note will die once the signal fades , .....so what Im wondering is........lets say in a live setting, Volume up much higher than bedroom level ... Where you could "almost" get natural sustain/feedback on your own ............Would this pedal be a little better holding the sustained feedback in a higher volume scenario? as opposed to low volume playing. Maybe it COULD hold feedback for quite some time maybe.

    i wonder if they gonna come up with the rack mount version with all the footswitch and fancy expression pedal.
    maybe this will be the next primary sound effect for the "solo" guitarist beside wah / crybaby pedal. if they don't want sustainer pickup installed on their guitar of course.

  • @mrbaiser4133
    @mrbaiser4133 Рік тому

    Do you still use this pedal? I just bought it, but I'm not sure, how useful it really is. I like to let a note ring, until the feedback changes to an obertone, and then finger slide to other notes on the same string. Easy with real feedback, but the Freqout often drops out.

  • @NebulousWeb
    @NebulousWeb 5 років тому +1

    The thing that kills it for me is that the feedback just stops dead - no trailing off. It also has a ten second maximum, after which it just stops dead. The only thing that makes me think I should get one is because Digitech doesn't exist anymore, so there probably isn't going to be a better version coming out in the future from Harman.
